Liberia is undergoing a significant energy transformation. The demand for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as a clean, affordable, and environmentally friendly cooking and industrial fuel is rising rapidly across the country. With the Liberian government and international partners actively promoting clean cooking solutions to reduce deforestation and improve public health, LPG has emerged as the fuel of choice for households, hotels, restaurants, factories, and healthcare facilities throughout the nation.

 

However, one critical challenge remains: infrastructure.

While LPG demand continues to climb, Liberia faces serious limitations in storage and distribution capacity, especially in remote areas and underserved communities. Many households and businesses still struggle to access reliable LPG supplies, not because the gas isn't available, but because the means to transport it from import terminals to end users are insufficient.

 

This is exactly where the Sinotruk HOWO 5MT LPG Bobtail Truck comes in. Designed as a complete mobile LPG refueling and delivery solution, this propane bobtail truck bridges the critical gap between LPG storage facilities and the homes, gas stations, restaurants, and industries that need propane and butane gas. Whether you are an LPG distributor expanding your fleet, an energy company establishing supply chains, or a business looking to provide doorstep gas delivery services, this HOWO LPG tanker truck is your ideal partner.

 

In the sections below, we will take you through the key applications, technical features, detailed specifications, and competitive advantages of this 10,000-liter LPG bobtail delivery truck – and most importantly, why purchasing from us is the smartest decision for your business in Liberia.

 

 

 

The Sinotruk HOWO 5MT LPG bobtail truck is an extremely versatile vehicle designed to handle multiple roles in the propane/butane gas logistics chain:

LPG Delivery to Households and Businesses (Doorstep Refueling): This propane gas delivery truck can navigate through urban streets and rural roads alike, bringing cooking gas directly to residential customers, hotels, and restaurants – eliminating the need for customers to travel long distances to refill cylinders.

 

LPG Refueling for Autogas Vehicles: As the adoption of LPG-powered vehicles (taxis, buses, delivery vans) grows across West Africa, this LPG refueling truck can serve as a mobile fuelling station, filling vehicle-mounted LPG tanks quickly and safely.

 

Cylinder Filling at Distribution Points: Equipped with a high-performance CORKEN Z2000 LPG pump and a flow meter with ticket printer, this LPG filling truck is ideal for setting up temporary or permanent cylinder filling stations in markets, towns, and villages.

 

LPG Transfer Between Storage Facilities: Need to move LPG from a main storage depot to smaller satellite storage tanks? This 10,000L propane tank truck handles bulk LPG transfer with efficiency and safety.

 

 

No matter where you need propane or butane gas delivered – from Monrovia's city centre to remote communities in Lofa County – this LPG bobtail truck ensures that your gas reaches its destination efficiently and safely.

 

 

Here is a breakdown of what makes the Sinotruk HOWO 5MT LPG bobtail truck superior to alternatives in the market:

1. Generous 10,000-Litre Tank Capacity for Efficient Bulk Transport

LPG Tank Volume: 10,000 litres (10 m³)

Payload Capacity: 5,000 kg

This LPG tanker truck carries a significant volume of propane/butane in a single trip, allowing you to serve more customers with fewer refills at the bulk plant. For an LPG distributor in Liberia, this translates directly into lower operating costs, reduced travel time, and higher daily delivery volumes.

 

2. Durable and Safe LPG Tank Construction

The tank on this LPG delivery truck is built to last in Africa's demanding conditions:

Tank Material: Q345R high-strength steel

Tank Diameter: 1,800 mm

Tank Wall Thickness: 10 mm

End Plate Thickness: 10 mm

Tank Length: 5,070 mm

Q345R is a specialized pressure vessel steel designed to handle the mechanical and thermal stresses of LPG transportation. The generous thickness (10 mm for both the shell and end plates) provides excellent resistance to impacts, corrosion, and fatigue – crucial for operating on West African roads.

 

3. High-Performance LPG Pump System for Fast Refueling

LPG Pump: CORKEN Z2000GAEE

Inlet/Outlet: 2″ NPT

Maximum RPM: 800

The CORKEN Z2000 is one of the most trusted LPG transfer pumps in the global energy industry. Known for its durability and consistent flow rates, this foot-mounted rotary vane pump is directly driven by the truck's PTO (power take-off) system. The PTO-driven design offers a major advantage: simplicity. With fewer electrical components, the system is easier to maintain, less prone to failures, and more reliable in hot, dusty, and remote environments – exactly the conditions you will encounter in Liberia.

 

4. LPG Flow Meter with Ticket Printer for Accurate Dispensing

Model: TSC-50

Maximum Capacity: 76–380 litres per minute

Inlet/Outlet: 2″/DN50

Includes: Strainer, air eliminator, differential valve, back check valve, and ticket printer

Your customers demand transparency and accuracy. This LPG bobtail truck comes equipped with a precision TSC-50 flow meter that shows the exact filling volume in real-time. The integrated ticket printer produces a printed receipt for every refueling transaction – building trust with commercial and residential customers and making record-keeping simple.

 

5. Safety Features Designed for the Real World

LPG is a pressurized flammable gas, so safety is non-negotiable. The Sinotruk HOWO LPG refueling truck incorporates multiple layers of safety protection:

Front-Mounted Exhaust Pipe: Unlike conventional trucks that route exhaust to the rear, this LPG delivery truck's exhaust pipe is positioned at the front of the cabin. This design minimises the risk of igniting LPG vapours during loading, unloading, or any potential leak scenario.

Emergency Shut-Off Valves (2 pcs): Installed with switches both inside the valve box and at the rear of the truck, these valves allow the operator to immediately stop gas flow in an emergency.

Built-in Safety Valve (A412F-25-16 Type): Provides automatic overpressure protection.

Pipeline and Return Safety Valves: Added protection for the entire gas circuit.

Static Conductive Tape: Prevents static electricity build-up – a critical safety measure when transferring flammable gases.

Fire Extinguisher Holder: Always prepared with onboard fire suppression capability.

 

6. Powerful and Durable Chassis for West African Road Conditions

Overall Dimensions: 7,800 × 2,500 × 3,250 mm

Wheelbase: 4,700 mm

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): 13,500 kg

Curb Weight: 8,500 kg

Engine & Transmission:

Engine: Yuchai YC4E160-33 diesel engine

Horsepower: 160 HP

Displacement: 4,257 mL

Emission Standard: EURO III

Gearbox: DC6J65TC, 6 forward gears + 1 reverse

The Yuchai diesel engine is a proven workhorse widely used across Africa, known for its fuel efficiency, easy parts availability, and resistance to high ambient temperatures. The 6-speed gearbox gives you the flexibility to handle both highway cruising and low-speed manoeuvring around tight delivery points.

Axles and Tires:

Front Axle Capacity: 3,600 kg

Rear Axle Capacity: 10,500 kg

Tires: 9.00R20 (6 pcs + 1 spare)

The heavy-duty rear axle and 9.00R20 radial tyres provide excellent load-carrying capacity and off-road traction. With a 5,000 kg payload, this LPG tanker is perfectly balanced – not too heavy for urban roads, yet capable of delivering substantial volumes in rural areas.

 

7. Operator Comfort – The HOWO 2080 Cabin

Type: HOWO 2080

Configuration: One-and-a-half row (extended cabin)

Air Conditioning: Standard

Long delivery routes across Liberia can be gruelling, especially in the tropical heat. The HOWO 2080 extended cabin provides ample space for the driver and a helper, while the factory-installed air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. A well-rested driver is a safer driver – and that matters when transporting pressurised LPG.

 

8. Left-Hand Drive Configuration 

This specific unit is built with left-hand drive to facilitate overland transport routes (such as through Nigeria). If right-hand drive is required for your fleet, we can accommodate that as well. Our trucks are fully customizable to your local driving regulations.

 

9. Safety-First Engineering Details

Beyond the major systems, the HOWO LPG bobtail is packed with thoughtful safety features:

Level Gauge (YWJ-25): Float ball type, installed at the rear of the tank, shows fill levels as a percentage – easy to read from the ground.

Thermometer (WTQ-280): Monitors LPG temperature inside the tank.

Pressure Gauges (2 pcs, YN-100T): Provide real-time tank pressure readings.

Manhole (DN450): Allows easy access for tank inspection and cleaning.

Equipment and Valve Box: Located on the opposite side from the driver, this robust rolling-off cabinet houses all critical valves and controls in a protected, organized space.

Steel Fender: Rugged protection against road debris.
